"Knights of Honor"

Good day.
I apologize for being persistent, but I still ask competent individuals to explain the difference in gameplay between "Platinum" and WoG 3.55.
If there is a difference (I heard about the possibility of CHOOSING a hero in the tavern, for example), then I strongly suggest having separate rankings for the two categories:
1. Players who played on SoD (Platinum);
2. Players who played on WoG.
I hope for your understanding, Qwerty

The option to choose a hero in the tavern exists in TE, but not in WoG. However, there is a hero picker for SoD, so it's not really a difference.
The main differences between WoG and SoD: new level 8 monsters (but this depends on the map), commanders, monster upgrades, garrison upgrades, and a new resource.
You can create a starting save in TE, disabling the main differences between the versions, leaving only the interface improvements.
The main problem is that it is quite difficult to determine whether a person played on SoD or WoG, unlike TE, where everything is obvious!
